Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 15, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how the SmartClips Uploader application ("the App"), operated by the owner of the SmartClips YouTube channel, handles data. The App uses YouTube API Services.
1. Who uses the App
The App is a private tool used only by the owner of the SmartClips channel to manage that channel. It is not offered to the public and does not sign in other users.
2. YouTube API Services
The App uses YouTube API Services. By using the App, you are agreeing to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. The App's use of Google data is also subject to the Google Privacy Policy.
3. Data the App accesses
With the channel owner's authorization through Google OAuth, the App accesses only the SmartClips channel's own data:
- channel and video information needed to upload, schedule and organize videos and playlists;
- permission to post and pin comments on the channel's own videos;
- the channel's own YouTube Analytics metrics (such as views, watch time and subscribers).
The App does not access, collect or store personal data of viewers or of any other YouTube user.
4. How data is used
Data is used only to publish content to the SmartClips channel and to measure which videos perform best. The App does not sell, rent, share or transfer any data to third parties, and does not use it for advertising.
5. Storage and security
OAuth tokens and analytics reports are stored locally on the channel owner's own computer. No data is stored on external servers operated by the App. Analytics data is kept only as long as needed for performance reports and is refreshed at least every 30 days.
6. Cookies
The App does not place cookies on viewers' devices. This website does not use tracking cookies.
7. Revoking access
Access granted to the App can be revoked at any time on the Google security settings page: https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions. When access is revoked, stored tokens stop working and related stored data is deleted.
8. Changes
This policy may be updated. The date at the top shows the latest version.
